Muji just made autonomous vehicles slightly more chic. The minimalist Japanese company has teamed up with Finnish autonomous driving company Sensible 4 to create the Gacha shuttle bus, an autonomous vehicle that it claims is the first in the world designed to function in all weather conditions.
无印良品的的设计让汽车造型看起来有点复古的感觉。这个日本简约品牌公司和芬兰的汽车公司Sensible 4合作,共同研发了Gacha穿梭巴士。这款无人驾驶汽车据说是世界上首款在任何环境中都能运行的汽车。
For the collaboration, Muji gave the shuttle bus and user experience its sleek design aesthetic, while Sensible 4 provided the autonomous driving technology, including navigation and obstacle detection that can function in heavy rain, fog, and snow–all of which are common in Finland's long winters.
在合作中,无印良品负责为用户提供的是时尚美学设计,而Sensible 4提供自动驾驶的技术,其中包括导航,障碍探测,以及在大雨,迷雾,下雪这些在芬兰漫长冬天常见的气候中也能够很好运行的技术。
“We are developing these vehicles so that they can become part of [the] daily transportation service chain,” says Harri Santamala, CEO of Sensible 4. “Autonomous vehicles can't become mainstream until their technology has been insured to work in all climates.”
“我们开发这款车是希望它们成为日常交通服务链的一部分,如果这款车的技术不能够让其在所有气候正常运行的话,这款车也不应该能普及。” Sensible 4的首席执行官Harri Santamala如是说。
The vehicle will hit the streets of Helsinki in March 2019 (let's all plan a trip to Helsinki!) and will then start shuttling passengers around three Finnish cities in real-life traffic, presumably with planned stops at the country's new Muji store, scheduled to open in Helsinki in November 2019.
2019年3月这款车就会在赫尔辛基的街上运行了(让我们开始计划一次赫尔辛基之旅吧!)届时,他会在芬兰的三个城市开始接送乘客,真正出现在城市交通中,而且计划会在城中2019年11月新开的无印良品门店点设站。
If tests go as planned, the companies are working to develop an entire Gacha fleet, which they are hoping to roll out in 2020 with the hope of being in mainstream use by 2021.
如果按照计划进展顺利的话,该公司计打造整个Gacha舰队,有希望在2020年腿型,2021年普及。
